It certainly wasn’t best for the child to be brought into the world in a gay relationship, but that’s what the mother did to the daughter, and two women were mothers to the child for several years before the relationship ended.

The child was born in 2002 and they broke up in 2003. So they were not mothers together with the child for years.

Also, there have been reports that the “partner” did not want the child and Lisa got pregnant on her own. Jenkins did not attend Dr. Appts, or anything else and was not happy about the pregnancy.

It has also been reported that Jenkins wanted a reconciliation and when Lisa refused.

Now, it is possible I am wrong, but given the huge number of gays and lesbians I know (grew up in high gay population and dad was gay) and familiarity with their immaturity and viciousness, it would not surprise me in the least that this whole thing is about revenge and not the child.

The birth mother has said many of those things in interviews. I don’t know if she has said those things in court, and the other woman has a different story on many of those points, and has said so in court. I would note that they probably have a record of when Jenkins showed up at the doctor for insemination, not that getting inseminated is something I would think is a “bonding event”.

The question is, was Jenkins in the delivery room? Lisa doesnt’ say she wasn’t, so I assume she was. Jenkins says that the two of them decided to have the child, and Lisa was chosen to have the child because she was younger and wanted to do it.

Again, the stories are divergent, Jenkins said she regularly visited with the child, Lisa says Jenkins never visited. Although at some point Lisa says Jenkins had the child for a time in Vermont. I don’t know how we would know the full truth, but I trust that the judge in the case has a much better idea of the truth than we do, since he took testimony under oath and probably has statements from friends, relatives, and the doctors offices.

Lisa lost interest in the relationship I think the same time she found her faith. She is certainly a poster child for how, for women at least, homosexuality is not genetic.
